How we came to know that it is tensile or compressive by Lami's theorem?

It is By Lami theorem.

By lamis theorem W/sin60 = BC/sin90 so BC equals to +2W/√3 (tensile).
Or
By resolving BC vertically and applying the equilibrium equation in the vertical direction we get
BCsin60 - W = 0.
BC= +2W/√3 (tensile).
Or
By resolving BC vertically and applying the equilibrium equation in the vertical direction we get
BCsin60 - W = 0.
BC= +2W/√3 (tensile).

By lami theorem, w/sin60 = BC/sin90.
Therefore BC= 2W/ROOT3.
Therefore BC= 2W/ROOT3.

Given angle at B is 60 and weight W is acting downwards which experiences tension. So a\c to Lami formula W/sin60 gives 2W/root3 on simplification.

Apply Law of Sine and get the answer.

BC is compressive right but CB is?

See here When you resolve force at point B,
then you get,
IF we get the force at away from B.
x=BC cos60=0.
y=BC sin60-w=0.
BC=2*W/3.
HERE YOU GET YOUR ANSWER TENSILE.
